Nut Flush for the Win

Roxanne Johnson

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Kirk Acevedo, who was under the gun, raised preflop to 900 and Mike Allis in the small blind reraised to 1.300. Acevedo raised again to 5,500 and Allis called.

The flop came A♦7♠10♠ and Allis checked, Acevedo bet 3,500 and Allis raised to 10,000, Acevedo called.

The 4♠ on the turn brought all of the action when Allis moved his chips in the pot and Acevedo called, at risk with only 30,500.

Kirk Acevedo: A♠Q♠
Mike Allis: A♥9♥

Allis was drawing dead on the river with the Q♥ and Acevedo won a substantial pot with the nut flush.
